Castellaneta The territory has rich environment, archaeological, artistic and historical area of \u200b\u200bconsiderable importance. Only through careful and systematic study of these sectors will generate knowledge needed. This knowledge, as well as a complete picture of the complex Castellaneta, will result in a common sense aimed at its protection and preservation. From this the value will be an automatic consequence. Although there is no lack solid studies Castellaneta, just think of Henry Mastrobuono (Italian historian and magistrate), with its archaeological and historical writings, they often appear to be fragmented and isolated even though they represent a significant and important contribution. In fact, an archaeological study of a site can not be separated from its environmental review because it is precisely this second aspect to influence the first (eg, conformation, presence of resources, roads ..), this report also applies in an artistic phenomenon that can not be alienated 
from historical, religious and cultural factors that have influenced the achievement or enabled.
from historical, religious and cultural factors that have influenced the achievement or enabled. A study based on comprehensive analysis and cross is at the heart of the nascent group "Artemis". It is composed of seven boys animated by a profound feeling of study. The peculiarity lies in the components, in fact possess specific knowledge and skills in specific fields, so that each of the other activity is necessary in order to achieve a complete analysis:
-Sector archaeological : Livio and Nardò Stasolla Vincenzo years 21 and 22. Students of the University of Bari, Taranto seat, Faculty of Cultural Heritage for Tourism and Environment, in archaeological.
- environmental : Gentilesca John years of 33 years. He graduated from the University of Bari in Forest Science.
Nocco Marco 20 years. Student at the University of Basilicata, Matera site, Engineering Faculty of Environment and Territory.

There are several goals that we want for our beautiful country starting with:
Territorial Development of studies available to third parties and involvement of public institutions (schools ...).
Protection and promotion of cultural heritage, environmental, archaeological, artistic, historical and literary.
Enlargement and consolidation of "cultural boundaries" castellanetani contacts and comparisons with other territories.
Reassessment of Castellaneta and his name
Now we will introduce some of the many elements characteristic of the area and unfamiliar Castellaneta:
The oldest artifact is a human artifact lytic scientifically called "amygdala", which dates from the Middle Paleolithic, the period from 120,000 to 35,000 years ago (E. Mastobuono ). E 'was found at quarry Ciulla ravine in S. Stefano. It is a stone tool used by hunter-gatherers who lived in caves and shelters. The study sites of this period is of particular importance, considering that the site Neanderthalian of ' Oscurusciuto "at the ravine Ginosa attracts high-caliber researchers as and Paolo Bosco Anna Ronchitelli of ' University of Siena. In that period is a fauna very different from that
today as we witness the discoveries of fossil remains in the site belonging to animals such as elephants, hyenas, deer, bos primigenius, etc.. The ravine in
this and other cases is of importance is unlimited because the particular shape in the past has allowed a sustained attendance um
because ana is host to other important animal and plant species. This gives the opportunity to come into contact with an environment where fortunately survived untouched and unique archaeological sites and unspoilt flora and fauna elements now found only in these places because extinct in other parts dell'incontrollata due to human activities. In fact, the geographical position of our region, extending into the Mediterranean to the east has meant that in the Miocene, 5-6 million years ago when he created a bridge between islands and Puglia Balcani, diverse specie di animali e piante passarono nella nostra Regione. Note con il nome di specie transadriatiche, hanno trovato scampo solo nelle nostre gravine. Un esempio è rappresentato dal Plantago Albicans, una specie erbacea perenne o dal Quercus Vallonea, una delle varie specie di quercia; oltre che per la flora anche molte specie animali sono ormai confinate in queste oasi come il falco lanario, il gufo reale, l'istrice, la faina, il tasso, la volpe, la donnola, la vipera, etc. Un aspetto particolarmente interessante, che determina la creazione di numerose nicchie ecologiche, è rappresentato da uno spiccato gradiente termico all'interno delle gravine. Questo fa si che procedendo dal margine superiore a fondo della gravina si susseguono plant communities that require different levels of humidity and that place on the back of a mesophile vegetation that is home to numerous species in the wettest months of otherwise rare amphibians such as the Italian tree frog, the toad and reptiles like the grass snake.
The presence of water and resources, along with the possibility of being able to defend well has led man to settle on the slopes or on the upper edge of the ravine in a temporal continuity that is so from prehistory to the present day. In fact, in the ravines castellanetane there are artifacts and structures of archaeological importance.: Remains of dolmens, and Magna Greek Apulian villages, farms, Roman, Byzantine crypts, medieval churches, houses seventeenth century, etc.
Numerosi sono i reperti rinvenuti e che sono custoditi a Taranto come strumenti preistorici, vasi e statuette magno-greche o un intero tesoretto di circa seicento monete di bronzo, argento ed una in oro rinvenute sul pendio al di sotto della chiesa dell'Assunta e molto altro.

Numerosi sono i reperti rinvenuti e che sono custoditi a Taranto come strumenti preistorici, vasi e statuette magno-greche o un intero tesoretto di circa seicento monete di bronzo, argento ed una in oro rinvenute sul pendio al di sotto della chiesa dell'Assunta e molto altro.
Se non consideriamo solo le gravine ma ci riferiamo all'intero territorio castellanetano notiamo che sono molteplici i siti archeologici presenti. Per farci un'idea è sufficiente considerare quelli segnalati dal Mastrobuono:
età Paleolitica e Neolitica: 9
Eneolithic and Bronze age: 11
historical age: 23
To these we must add the sites that still continue to emerge through agricultural work. Also on the hill
Holy Trinity, in the Montecamplo, there are the remains of a fortified village Apulian-peuceta, which arose in the sixth and fifth centuries BC and, together with those of Colonial Minerva and Castelluccia, archaeological sites are castellanetani of considerable importance. In fact, many scholars consider the first site of the village of Monte Sannace 5 km from Gioia del Colle.
Other aspects that pique your interest are determined, for esempio, dal rinvenimento di strumenti in ossidiana che testimoniano scambi che i nostri antenati, durante il Neolitico, a partire da 8 mila anni fa, nutrivano con gli abitanti delle isole Eolie; essi paiono addirittura in stretto contatto con le civiltà padane e d’oltralpe come ci testimonia il rinvenimento di una particolare roccia denominata “pietra verde”. Inoltre rinvenimenti di ceramica micenea, di ceramica corinzia e attica ci suggeriscono relazioni anche con queste grandi civiltà mediterranee. La fertilità del territorio castellanetano determinò circa 2500 anni fa una contesa tra la colonia spartana Taranto e Metaponto, colonia achea, e le varie comunità indigene apulo- peucete.
The proximity to cultural centers such as in prehistoric times Laterza and Matera and Taranto in the Bronze Age and later in historical times, along with the presence of major roads, cattle tracks ranging from the prehistoric to the Way Appia Antica, has allowed the people that lived in our region to achieve a particular degree of development and refinement of which we know only a small part. Therefore this is well demonstrated by the archaeological artifacts stored in the National Archaeological Museum of Taranto (MARTA), consisting of polished stone axes, pottery with a high artistic level, vases and objects in bronze and amber, decorated in relief, etc.
